We’ve all been there.

It’s decision time and nothing seems quite worth the next two hours of your life. You consider several options, browsing through the menu, but none of them are “right.” You’re sick of Helen Mirren. Owen Wilson annoys you. And don’t EVEN get yourself started on flimsy adaptations of mediocre novels, such as the one starring an actress who peaked playing a call girl. So you go with the safe option – the one with Matt Damon – or you choose the book by the cover – which may also be the one with Matt Damon – and all the while, you know full well that your heart isn’t in it.

What’s worse – you did it with this wine, too, choosing it for the clever title and the pretty label, with a lurking suspicion that there was nothing more to it.
